How the hell did we lose Viet Nam?

You were TOO sensitive to win a gorilla war, instead of droping a couple of A-bombs and end of story!

"How the hell did we lose Viet Nam?"

We didn't. That's a liberal myth. The US had far superior mobility and fire support, won every battle, and inflicted over a million casualties while only suffering about 58,000 casualties. In other words, the US mollywhopped Vietnam, for obvious reasons. In any case, the Vietnam war ended with the signing of a peace treaty:

"The Paris Peace Accords, officially titled the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Viet Nam, was a peace treaty signed on January 27, 1973, to establish peace in Vietnam and end the Vietnam War."

North Vietnam soon started a new war with South Vietnam (it was a new war by definition, because them signing the peace treaty ended the previous war, by definition), and they defeated South Vietnam with the Fall of Saigon. The US didn't take part in that second war, and you obviously can't lose a war in which you didn't take part.

Didn't we only go to war in Vietnam because France had their own army there fighting and wanted us to help them fight their war there?

we shouldn't have gone to Vietnam to begin it was Manifesto much like the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq War just an example of Republikkkans Warmongering
